  • Title: Isolated straight sinus and deep cerebral venous thrombosis: successful treatment with local infusion of urokinase. Case report.
    Author: Holder CA, Bell DA, Lundell AL, Ulmer JL, Glazier SS.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 1997 Apr; 86(4):704-7. PubMed ID: 9120636.
    Abstract:
    A 23-year-old woman presented with headache and progressive lethargy. The diagnosis of isolated thrombosis of the straight sinus and of the deep cerebral venous system was established using cranial computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, phase-contrast magnetic resonance venography, and cerebral angiography. Because of the rapid deterioration in the patient's clinical condition, the authors used direct transcatheter infusion of urokinase into the straight sinus. This treatment resulted in a successful outcome.
